Super Simple Chunky Snood

Hello, how are you all? I have a little treat for you today. How would you like a free pattern? I thought so :)

OK, so this one came to be after I made the Rug a little over a year ago. The idea was to make a long scarf with the scrap yarn. After a year of having the WIP in my stash, I decided enough was enough, and decided the scarf would be shortened and turned into a snood instead. And this was the result:

I am very pleased with how it turned out, and also with how warm it feels, since it is made of super chunky yarn.

Here's how I usually wear it, adding a shawl pin so I don't have to keep my hand on my chest the whole time!

All right, so the pattern is extremely simple (even though it doesn't look it), and the best thing about it is that you can improvise. Try playing with the possibilities by swapping a row of trebles for one of dcs, making it longer or shorter by adding more rows, or wider or narrower by changing the amount of chain stitches in the beginning chain.

Row 2: change to yarn B, make a standing dc (here's a tutorial in US terminology) in last stitch from previous row, dc in next st to end, turn.

Row 3: change to yarn C, make a standing dc in last st from previous row, dc in next st to end, turn.

Row 4: change to yarn D, make a standing tr (here's a tutorial in US terminology) in last st from previous row, tr in next st to end, turn.

Row 5: change to yarn C, make a standing tr in last st from previous row, tr in next st to end, turn.

Row 6: change to yarn E, make a standing dc in last stitch from previous row, dc in next st to end, turn.

Row 7: change to yarn A, make a standing tr in last st from previous row, tr in next st to end, turn.

Row 8: change to yarn F, make a standing dc in last st from previous row, dc in next st to end, turn.

Row 9: change to yarn E, make a standing tr in last st from previous row, tr in next st to end, turn.

Row 10: repeat row 3.

Row 11: repeat row 4.

Row 12: change to yarn B, make a standing tr in last st from previous row, tr in next st to end, turn.

Row 13: repeat row 7.

Row 14: repeat row 6.

Row 15: change to yarn D, make a standing dc in last st from previous row, dc in next st to end, turn.

Row 16: repeat row 8.

Row 17: repeat row 2.

Row 18: repeat row 5

Row 19: change to yarn F, make a standing dc in last st from previous row, dc in next st to end, turn.

Row 21; repeat row 2.

Row 22: repeat row 15.

Row 23: repeat row 6.

Row 24: repear row 4

Row 26: change to yarn A: make a standing dc in last st from previous row, dc in next st to end, turn.

Row 27: ch1, 1 dc in last stitch from previous row, 1 dc in next st to end, turn.

Row 28: repeat row 12.

Row 29: repeat row 6.

Row 30: repeat row 2.

Row 31: repeat row 4.

Row 32: repeat row 3.

Row 37: repeat row 26

Row 38-9: repeat row 27

Row 40: repeat row 6.

Row 41: repeat row 27

Row 42: ch3, tr in next st to end.

Row 43: repeat row 5.

Row 44-7: repeat row 27

Row 48: repeat row 2.

Row 49: repeat row 27, do NOT fasten off.

Making up:

Choose a wrong side (WS) to your snood, and with it facing upwards, join row 49 and beginning chain with a row of slip stitches. Fasten off.

Edging (make two, one for each edge):

Round 1: with right side (RS) facing upwards, rejoin yarn E anywhere in one edge of the snood, and slip stitch evenly all around, joining with a slip stitch to the 1st slip stitch.

Round 2: ch1, 1 dc in back loop of sl st from previous round, 1 dc in back loop of next sl st around, join with sl st to ch1. Fasten off, weave in all ends, and block.

Have fun making your snood! Let me know if you find any mistakes or anything unclear!
